His family stayed with a host family, and he shared a room with the son, Mingming. Mingming was ____3____. He was always singing, telling jokes and talking to everyone in the yard.

It was a ____4____ morning: the air was cool and soft, and birds were singing high above. Teng Fei had seen bamboo in photos, but the real forest was different — they were as tall as buildings. “Bamboo looks like a tree, ____5____ in fact it is a kind of grass.” Mingming said. “New shoots ____6____ from the ground every spring.” Before they left, Teng Fei read a notice: “Please ____7____ the bamboo forests.” Mingming told Teng Fei that people should take care of the forest because it was home to many animals and plants. On the way back, they visited Mingming’s grandma’s garden. Flowers grew everywhere, and bees flew from flower to flower. “It looks beautiful, ____8____ after a warm rain,” Grandma said. “The bees do the most important work. ____9____ them, we would have fewer flowers next year.” That evening, the family cooked dinner in the yard.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了滕飞在云南小镇度假的经历，描述了当地风景、人口及寄宿家庭的生活，特别是与明明相处的趣事及感悟。 【1题详解】 句意：小镇很安静，周围的风景像画一样：青山，高高的竹子和一条河。 根据“green hills, tall bamboo and a river”，可知此处描述的是自然风景。scenery“风景”符合语境，station“车站”、luggage“行李”、poster“海报”，与情境不符。 【2题详解】 句意：镇上的人口也很少——大约只有两千人住在那里。 根据“only about two thousand people lived there”，可知此处是介绍人口数量。population“人口”符合语境，hotel“旅馆”、bedroom“卧室”、planet“行星”不合逻辑。 【3题详解】  句意：明明性格外向。 根据“always singing, telling jokes and talking to everyone in the yard”，可知他性格外向。outgoing“外向的”符合语境，forgetful“健忘的”、hard-working“勤奋的”、honest“诚实的”无法体现活跃特征。 【4题详解】 句意：那是一个宜人的早晨：空气清凉柔和，鸟儿在高处歌唱。 根据“the air was cool and soft, and birds were singing high above”，可知环境舒适宜人。pleasant“令人愉快的”符合语境，strange“奇怪的”、modern“现代的”、busy“忙碌的”感情色彩不符。 【5题详解】 句意：竹子看起来像一棵树，但事实上它是一种草。 根据“looks like a tree”和“in fact it is a kind of grass”存在转折关系。but“但是”符合语境，until“直到”、wherever“无论哪里”、because“因为”逻辑不通。 【6题详解】 句意：每年春天，新的竹笋从地里冒出来。 根据“New shoots”和“from the ground every spring”，可知竹笋从土里出现。appear“出现”符合语境，arrive“到达”、cover“覆盖”、store“储存”搭配不当。 【7题详解】 句意：请保护竹林。 根据“people should take care of the forest”，可知这里呼吁保护竹林。protect“保护”符合语境，compare“比较”、reach“到达”、touch“触摸”语义不符。 【8题详解】 句意：它看起来很美，尤其是在一场温暖的雨后。 根据前后内容，是着重强调雨后的美景。especially“尤其”符合语境，probably“大概”、easily“容易地”、almost“几乎”，语气不符。 【9题详解】 句意：没有它们，明年我们的花就会变少。 根据“we would have fewer flowers next year”，可知是假设没有蜜蜂的情况。Without“没有”符合语境，During“在……期间”、Against“反对”、Except“除了”逻辑错误。 【10题详解】 句意：明明在派对上演唱了一首老歌。 根据“at the party”，可知是在派对上进行表演。performed“表演”符合语境，attended“参加”、borrowed“借用”、described“描述”搭配不当。 V．阅读理解。（本题20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分） 阅读A、B、C三个文本，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A SUNSHINE COMMUNITY SUMMER HOLIDAY FUN FAIR Saturday, August 29 3:00 p.m. — 6:00 p.m. Community Square (next to the library) Come and enjoy the last weekend before the new school year!

But there is more to know about them: they have special living habits, and their life is not easy. Bamboo makes up almost all of a panda’s food. Since bamboo does not give much energy, an adult panda has to spend up to sixteen hours a day eating, and it may eat as much as 38 kilos of bamboo. So when a panda rests after a big meal, it is not being lazy—it is saving energy. Newborn pandas are hard to imagine: a baby is pink and blind, and weighs only about 100 grams—smaller than an adult’s hand. It cannot live without its mother, who holds it day and night in its first few weeks. The number of pandas once dropped quickly because humans cut down the bamboo forests where they lived. Later, China took action: workers planted bamboo trees and set up nature reserves (保护区), and in 2021 the country even started a Giant Panda National Park across Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. Thanks to this work, there are now nearly 1,900 pandas living in the wild. In 2016, scientists agreed that pandas were no longer endangered (濒危). But they are vulnerable. A long dry season may pull their numbers down again. Also, pandas’ homes are cut into small areas by roads and farmland. Pandas can hardly move between these areas to find food, so the work of protecting them is far from finished. 16. Why do adult pandas spend so much time eating every day? A. Because they get hungry easily. B. Because they only rest in nature reserves. C. Because bamboo gives them little energy. D. Because they have finished protecting their babies. 17. What can we know about a newborn panda? A. It weighs about 38 kilos. B. It cannot see and is very small. C. It lives with both of its parents. D. It is black and white like its parents. 18. What does “vulnerable” in the last paragraph mean? A. easy to be broken or hurt B. easy to become fewer without protection C. easy to get hurt in feelings D. easy to be weak and likely to get sick 19. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The number of wild pandas keeps growing quickly. B. Scientists believe the protection work has finished. C. The number of wild pandas is dropping fast again. D. Pandas still face problems with broken living areas. 20. Why does the writer write this passage? A. To ask people to keep protecting pandas. B. To show that the danger is over for pandas. C. To describe how a mother raises her baby. D. To introduce the history of nature reserves. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. B 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本 文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了大熊猫的生活习性、幼崽特点及保护现状，指出虽然数量有所恢复，但保护工作仍未结束。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。第二段提到“Since bamboo does not give much energy, an adult panda has to spend up to sixteen hours a day eating”，说明是因为竹子提供的能量很少，所以成年熊猫每天需要花费大量时间进食。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。第三段提到“a baby is pink and blind, and weighs only about 100 grams”，说明新生熊猫看不见东西且体重很轻，体型非常小。 【18题详解】 词句猜测题。最后一段提到“But they are vulnerable. A long dry season may pull their numbers down again.”，可推知该词在文中指熊猫数量容易再次下降，即在没有保护的情况下容易变少。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。最后一段提到“pandas’ homes are cut into small areas by roads and farmland”，可推知熊猫的栖息地被道路和农田分割成小块，仍面临生存区域破碎的问题。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。最后一段提到“so the work of protecting them is far from finished.”及全文内容可推知，作者写作目的是呼吁人们继续保护大熊猫。 C When Yang Fan’s family moved to a new city last autumn, she made a careful plan. She wrote down everything she would do to make friends: join three clubs, talk to one new classmate every day, and always smile first. “Friendship is like a plant,” she told herself. “If you water it every day, it will grow.” For two months, Yang Fan followed her plan perfectly. She joined the art club, the English corner and the reading group. She said hello to different classmates and smiled until her face hurt. But things didn’t work out. Classmates were polite, but nobody invited her to sit with them at lunch or walk home together. Yang Fan began to wonder what was wrong with her. The turning point came on a rainy afternoon. She forgot her umbrella and stood at the school gate, worrying. Then a short girl from her art club, Duoduo, appeared beside her and shared her umbrella without saying much. They walked home slowly, talking about the paintings they both loved. On the way, Yang Fan realized something surprising: Duoduo had never “tried” to make friends with anyone. She just did small, kind things naturally, and people liked being around her. That evening, Yang Fan threw her plan into the drawer. She stopped counting how many people she talked to each day. Instead, she began to pay attention to others — remembering a classmate’s sick dog, saving a seat, sharing her snacks. Slowly, her lunch table got fuller. Looking back, Yang Fan smiles at her old list. “I thought friendship was something you could plan and finish, like homework,” she says. “But it isn’t a task. It grows quietly, in small warm moments, when you truly care about someone.” 21. What did Yang Fan do to make friends at first? A. She did small kind things naturally. B. She invited classmates to lunch every day. C. She made a plan and followed it all the time. D. She shared her umbrella with classmates. 22. Why did Yang Fan begin to question herself? A. She could not join any clubs. B. She lost her umbrella on a rainy afternoon. C. Her classmates were not polite. D. Her classmates didn’t ask her to join them. 23. Why does the writer describe the story on the rainy afternoon? A. To show that Yang Fan often forgot things. B. To explain how Duoduo planned to make friends. C. To tell readers to bring umbrellas in rainy seasons. D. To mark when Yang Fan’s opinion began to change. 24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 show? A. Yang Fan had more friends. B. Yang Fan brought more food. C. The table was not big enough. D. The lunch was nicer than before. 25. What does Yang Fan probably agree with now? A. Making friends needs a smart plan more than anything else. B. A friendship grows from real care not from a list of actions. C. It is difficult for shy students to make friends in a new school. D. Smiling at people every day is the quickest way to win friends. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. D 24. A 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了杨凡搬家后制定详细计划交友未果，后来在雨天经历中领悟到友谊源于真诚关心而非刻意计划，最终收获友谊的故事。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“She wrote down everything she would do to make friends”以及第二段中“For two months, Yang Fan followed her plan perfectly.”可知，她起初为了交朋友制定了计划并一直遵循。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Classmates were polite, but nobody invited her to sit with them at lunch or walk home together. Yang Fan began to wonder what was wrong with her.”可知，因为同学没有邀请她加入活动，她开始怀疑自己。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The turning point came on a rainy afternoon”以及“Yang Fan realized something surprising”可知，雨天事件是故事的转折点，标志着杨凡对交友的看法开始发生改变。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Instead, she began to pay attention to others... Slowly, her lunch table got fuller.”可知，当她开始关心他人后，午餐桌变满意味着有更多同学愿意和她一起吃饭，即朋友变多了。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“But it isn’t a task. It grows quietly, in small warm moments, when you truly care about someone.”可知，她现在认为友谊是在真正关心某人时自然生长的，而不是任务列表。 D 阅读下面文本，从文本后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Look around your classroom. Some students put up their hands before the teacher finishes a question; others need another minute to think. Some laugh loudly at every joke; others smile and say nothing. Forty students can mean forty different personalities. Different people bring different things, and a class needs them all. Take Wang Lei and Xu Mei as an example. ____26____ Wang Lei can start a game with a new person in thirty seconds. Xu Mei notices the classmate sitting alone at lunch and remembers what he likes. When a new student came from another city last month, Wang Lei had him laughing on the first afternoon, and Xu Mei found that he could draw well and took him to the art club. “I felt at home in a week,” the new boy said. ____27____ A careful student may find a mistake in the plan before anyone starts, while a quick-thinking student may think of an idea before anyone else. ____28____ A group with both kinds of people usually works better than any one member alone. The best thing about a difference is not to fight it, but to learn from it. You do not have to become someone else. But you can learn small habits from people who are different from you. A shy student can practise saying one thing in group work. A student who talks a lot can practise listening to the end before answering. ____29____ Differences may bring trouble. They take time, and sometimes they make people unhappy. ____30____ So we should value these differences. A. The same thing happens in group work. B. They do almost everything in different ways. C. Each of them needs the other to finish the job. D. But what we get is far more than what we think. E. A careful student is always better than a fast one. F. These small habits slowly change how a class works. 【答案】26. B 27. A 28. C 29. F 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍班级里每个人性格各不相同，不同特质的同学可以互相配合、取长补短，我们应当接纳并珍惜这些差异。 【26题详解】 前文举王磊和徐梅两个人的例子，后文介绍王磊擅长快速和陌生人熟络、徐梅细心留意孤单的同学，B选项“They do almost everything in different ways.”承接上文引出两个人的对比，引出后文对两人不同处事方式的介绍。 【27题详解】 前文讲两位同学性格处事的差异，后文介绍小组活动里细心的同学和思维敏捷的同学各有优势，A选项“The same thing happens in group work.”承接上文个人之间的差异，把话题过渡到小组合作场景。 【28题详解】 前文提到细心型学生和思维敏捷型学生各有长处，后文说同时拥有这两类人的小组会比单独一个人完成得更好，C选项“Each of them needs the other to finish the job.”承接上文两种不同类型学生的特点，引出后文合作效果更好的观点。 【29题详解】 前文提到内向同学练习表达、爱说话的同学练习倾听这些小习惯，F选项“These small habits slowly change how a class works.”承接上文这些小小的改变，说明它们带来的影响。 【30题详解】 前文说差异会带来麻烦、消耗时间，有时让人不愉快，后文说所以我们要重视这些差异，D选项“But what we get is far more than what we think.”和前文形成转折关系，引出下文珍惜差异的结论。 第Ⅱ卷（满分50分） Ⅵ．短文填空（本题10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Last Saturday morning, Grandma opened the room for old things. She asked me to help her sort them out. I started with the boxes near the window. Most were full of old clothes, broken ____31____ (toy) and school papers. “What are you doing?” Grandma asked. “I ____32____ (put) them into the big rubbish bags,” I said. “Wait,” she said. “Some of these things are more important than you think.” She picked up a small toy horse. “That horse was your ____33____ (father),” she said. “Your grandpa made it for him when he was six.” By noon the room looked ____34____ (bad) than before, because everything was on the floor. But nobody was angry. We sat down among the boxes and began to talk. In a bag we found the ____35____ (old) photo in the house—my grandparents from forty years ago. My grandma looked at it ____36____ (careful), and I noticed something shining in her eyes. ____37____ the work was hard, I didn’t feel tired. Later that day, we ____38____ (carry) the last box back to its place. We stood at the door: the room was not bigger, but it felt warm. Before dinner, we filled three bags ____39____ old clothes and left them by the door for the children’s home. The toy horse is on my grandma’s desk now. “I keep it ____40____ (remember) your father as a boy,” she says. “Old boxes can go, but the stories inside them never leave.” I think she is right.

Although##Though 38. carried 39. with 40. to remember 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了上周六上午，作者帮奶奶整理存放旧物的房间，在整理的过程中发现了承载家庭回忆的老物件，懂得旧物会被清理，但背后的亲情故事永远留存。 【31题详解】 句意：大部分箱子里装满旧衣服、破损的玩具和学习资料。and连接并列名词，此处和old clothes、school papers并列，toy是可数名词，要用复数形式toys。 【32题详解】 句意：我正把它们放进大垃圾袋里。根据奶奶的问句“What are you doing?”可知，此处表示正在进行的动作，应用现在进行时，故填am putting。 【33题详解】 句意：那匹马是你爸爸的。此处表示所属关系，father的名词所有格father’s意为“爸爸的（东西）”。 【34题详解】 句意：到中午的时候，房间看起来比之前更乱了。句中有than，是比较级标志，bad的比较级是worse。 【35题详解】 句意：在一个袋子里，我们找到了家里最古老的照片——四十年前爷爷奶奶的照片。in the house划定范围，要用形容词最高级，old的最高级是oldest。 【36题详解】 句意：奶奶仔细看着这张照片，我注意到她眼里有亮晶晶的东西。此处修饰动词短语looked at，要用副词形式，careful的副词是carefully。 【37题详解】 句意：虽然这份工作很累，但是我没有觉得疲惫。前后分句存在让步转折关系，用Although或者Though引导让步状语从句。 【38题详解】 句意：那天晚些时候，我们把最后一个箱子放回原处。根据时间状语Later that day可知，描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，carry的过去式是carried。 【39题详解】 句意：晚饭前，我们把三个袋子装满旧衣服，放在门口送给儿童之家。固定搭配fill...with...，表示“用……装满……”，故填介词with。 【40题详解】 句意：我留着它，是为了记住你爸爸小时候的样子。此处表示保留玩具马的目的，即“为了记住”，应用动词不定式作目的状语，故填to remember。 Ⅶ．阅读表达。（本题5小题，共20分） A 阅读下面文本，完成下面小题。 Every holiday, Wang Yue’s classmates talk about planes and cities far away. Her family never goes far. For three years, they have spent every holiday in their own city. Wang Yue calls it “near holiday”. She says these are the best days of her year. They have three habits for the holiday. Their first habit began with a map. Her father bought an old city map in a small shop. “Let’s walk the streets we have never walked,” he said. They walked in the old part of the city. People dry fish in the sun there. An old man makes old clocks work again, too. Wang Yue walked along that street many times before, but she never walked into it. Their second habit is to go out early. Museums, markets and parks are quiet and beautiful at eight in the morning. At the fish market, Wang Yue learned a lot about the river in one hour. At the city museum, an old man showed her an old picture and told her its story. She could not find the story in any book. The third habit costs nothing. You just need to ask questions. “Why is this street so quiet in the morning?” “Who built this old house?” Most people are glad to answer, and every answer opens another door. Wang Yue is not saying long trips are bad. She is saying something easier: a good holiday does not have to be far away. It is not about how far you go. It is about how much you notice. “You do not need to leave the city to see new things,” she says. “You need to keep your eyes open.” 根据短文内容回答问题。 41. Why does Wang Yue call their holiday “near holiday”? _________________________ 42. Which will you choose for your next holiday, a “near holiday” or a “faraway holiday”? Why? _________________________ 43. 根据短文内容填空。（每空不超过三词） Wang Yue enjoys special “near holidays” with her family in their own city ___________ travelling far. They keep three holiday ___________: exploring streets with an old map, ___________ such as museums, markets and parks early in the morning to enjoy quiet beauty, and ___________ to learn more about the city. She doesn’t think long trips are bad. In her opinion, a wonderful holiday comes from watching carefully, not how far you travel. 【答案】41. Because they spend every holiday in their own city. 42. A “near holiday”. Because it helps me notice more around me. 43. ①. instead of ②. habits ③. visiting places ④. asking questions 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了王悦一家假期不去远方，而是在自己城市度过“附近假期”的三个习惯及其意义。 【41题详解】 根据文章第一段“For three years, they have spent every holiday in their own city.”可推知王悦称其为“附近假期”是因为他们一直在本市度假。 【42题详解】 根据文章第五段“It is about how much you notice.”可推知选择“附近假期”能让人更多地关注周围事物，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。 【43题详解】 ①原文第一段“Her family never goes far. For three years, they have spent every holiday in their own city”，表达在本市度假、而不是远行，instead of意为“而不是”，后接动名词，因此填instead of。 ②原文第一段“They have three habits for the holiday”，说明他们保持三个假期习惯，three后用复数habits，因此填habits。 ③原文第三段“Their second habit is to go out early. Museums, markets and parks are quiet and beautiful at eight in the morning”，对应去这些场所，和exploring并列，使用动名词，因此填visiting places。 ④原文第四段“The third habit costs nothing. You just need to ask questions”，第三个习惯是提问，和前面动名词并列，因此填asking questions。 B 阅读下面文本，完成下面小题。 Every spring, millions of birds fly north to spend the summer in cooler places. Some of them travel thousands of kilometres without a map, without a compass (指南针) and even without a rest stop. How do they know the way? Scientists have found several answers. Some birds use the sun. They can tell the time of day from where the sun is, so they always know which direction is north. Other birds use the stars. Young birds learn the night sky from their parents and remember groups of stars. Scientists also found something even more surprising: many birds can feel the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), which works like a small compass inside their bodies. Birds also need energy to finish such a long trip. Before they leave, they eat a lot and become much heavier. Some small birds almost double their weight. During the flight, they fly in a V shape, and this makes flying easier. The bird at the front does the hardest work, and the others take turns. This simple habit saves a lot of energy. Now, however, birds face new problems. Tall buildings and bright city lights make them lose their way at night, and many of them die. Wetlands where they rest have been turned into farms and roads. So they have fewer wetlands to rest. Their long journey is becoming more dangerous. Birds are the world’s greatest travellers. If we want to keep watching them cross the sky, we need to make their journey safer. 44. 根据短文内容完成表格。右栏用短语作答，每空不超过20词。 Birds’ Long Journeys Why they travel fly north to spend the summer in cooler places ________ ______________________________________________ ________ ______________________________________________ What made their journey become dangerous ______________________________________________ 45. To make the birds’ journeys safer, what advice will you give to the government (政府)? (请写出2条) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】44. ①. How they know the way ②. Use the sun, stars or the earth’s magnetic field ③. How they get and save energy ④. Eat a lot and fly in a V shape and take turns to be at the front ⑤. Tall buildings, bright city lights and fewer wetlands 45. 1. Make fewer bright lights at night. 2.Protect wetlands for birds to rest. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了鸟类迁徙的原因、导航方式、能量储备以及当前面临的危险，呼吁人们保护鸟类迁徙旅程。 【44题详解】 ①第2段提到“How do they know the way?”可知此处询问鸟类辨认方向的方式，由“Why they travel”可知，特殊疑问词后应用陈述句语序，故填How they know the way；②文章第2段提到“Some birds use the sun.”“Other birds use the stars.”及“many birds can feel the earth’s magnetic field”可知鸟类辨认方向的方式有：使用太阳、星星和地球磁场，故填Use the sun, stars or the earth’s magnetic field；③文章第3段提到“Birds also need energy to finish such a long trip.”及“This simple habit saves a lot of energy.”可知此处关于如何获取和节省能量，故填How they get and save energy；④文章第3段提到“Before they leave, they eat a lot... During the flight, they fly in a V shape”和“The bird at the front does the hardest work, and the others take turns.”可知获取和节省能量的具体做法有：离开前多吃，飞行时排成V字形，轮流领队，故填Eat a lot and fly in a V shape and take turns to be at the front；⑤根据“What made their journey become dangerous”和文章第4段提到的“Tall buildings and bright city lights make them lose their way at night... Wetlands where they rest have been turned into farms and roads.”可知鸟类旅途危险的来源是高楼，明亮的城市灯光和变得更少的湿地，故填Tall buildings, bright city lights and fewer wetlands。 【45题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但建议必须基于事实，结合文章和自己对“使鸟类的旅途更安全”的看法，合理建议即可。 Ⅷ．书面表达。（共15分） 46. 下个月，你们学校将有国外交流生来访。学校英语社团准备制作中国扇子作为礼物，现向全校同学征集扇面画创意。假设你是李华，请你给英语社团写一封邮件介绍你的创意，内容包括： 1.

I choose it because it shows the spirit of Chinese people. This gift carries my best wishes for the exchange students. I hope they can be brave and healthy like bamboo.

But there is more to know about them: they have special living habits, and their life is not easy. Bamboo makes up almost all of a panda’s food. Since bamboo does not give much energy, an adult panda has to spend up to sixteen hours a day eating, and it may eat as much as 38 kilos of bamboo. So when a panda rests after a big meal, it is not being lazy—it is saving energy. Newborn pandas are hard to imagine: a baby is pink and blind, and weighs only about 100 grams—smaller than an adult’s hand. It cannot live without its mother, who holds it day and night in its first few weeks. The number of pandas once dropped quickly because humans cut down the bamboo forests where they lived. Later, China took action: workers planted bamboo trees and set up nature reserves (保护区), and in 2021 the country even started a Giant Panda National Park across Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. Thanks to this work, there are now nearly 1,900 pandas living in the wild. In 2016, scientists agreed that pandas were no longer endangered (濒危). But they are vulnerable. A long dry season may pull their numbers down again. Also, pandas’ homes are cut into small areas by roads and farmland. Pandas can hardly move between these areas to find food, so the work of protecting them is far from finished. 16. Why do adult pandas spend so much time eating every day? A. Because they get hungry easily. B. Because they only rest in nature reserves. C. Because bamboo gives them little energy. D. Because they have finished protecting their babies. 17. What can we know about a newborn panda? A. It weighs about 38 kilos. B. It cannot see and is very small. C. It lives with both of its parents. D. It is black and white like its parents. 18. What does “vulnerable” in the last paragraph mean? A. easy to be broken or hurt B. easy to become fewer without protection C. easy to get hurt in feelings D. easy to be weak and likely to get sick 19. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The number of wild pandas keeps growing quickly. B. Scientists believe the protection work has finished. C. The number of wild pandas is dropping fast again. D. Pandas still face problems with broken living areas. 20. Why does the writer write this passage? A. To ask people to keep protecting pandas. B. To show that the danger is over for pandas. C. To describe how a mother raises her baby. D. To introduce the history of nature reserves. C When Yang Fan’s family moved to a new city last autumn, she made a careful plan. She wrote down everything she would do to make friends: join three clubs, talk to one new classmate every day, and always smile first. “Friendship is like a plant,” she told herself. “If you water it every day, it will grow.” For two months, Yang Fan followed her plan perfectly. She joined the art club, the English corner and the reading group. She said hello to different classmates and smiled until her face hurt. But things didn’t work out. Classmates were polite, but nobody invited her to sit with them at lunch or walk home together. Yang Fan began to wonder what was wrong with her. The turning point came on a rainy afternoon. She forgot her umbrella and stood at the school gate, worrying. Then a short girl from her art club, Duoduo, appeared beside her and shared her umbrella without saying much. They walked home slowly, talking about the paintings they both loved. On the way, Yang Fan realized something surprising: Duoduo had never “tried” to make friends with anyone. She just did small, kind things naturally, and people liked being around her. That evening, Yang Fan threw her plan into the drawer. She stopped counting how many people she talked to each day. Instead, she began to pay attention to others — remembering a classmate’s sick dog, saving a seat, sharing her snacks. Slowly, her lunch table got fuller. Looking back, Yang Fan smiles at her old list. “I thought friendship was something you could plan and finish, like homework,” she says. “But it isn’t a task. It grows quietly, in small warm moments, when you truly care about someone.” 21. What did Yang Fan do to make friends at first? A. She did small kind things naturally. B. She invited classmates to lunch every day. C. She made a plan and followed it all the time. D. She shared her umbrella with classmates. 22. Why did Yang Fan begin to question herself? A. She could not join any clubs. B. She lost her umbrella on a rainy afternoon. C. Her classmates were not polite. D. Her classmates didn’t ask her to join them. 23. Why does the writer describe the story on the rainy afternoon? A. To show that Yang Fan often forgot things. B. To explain how Duoduo planned to make friends. C. To tell readers to bring umbrellas in rainy seasons. D. To mark when Yang Fan’s opinion began to change. 24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 show? A. Yang Fan had more friends. B. Yang Fan brought more food. C. The table was not big enough. D. The lunch was nicer than before. 25. What does Yang Fan probably agree with now? A. Making friends needs a smart plan more than anything else. B. A friendship grows from real care not from a list of actions. C. It is difficult for shy students to make friends in a new school. D. Smiling at people every day is the quickest way to win friends. D 阅读下面文本，从文本后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Look around your classroom. Some students put up their hands before the teacher finishes a question; others need another minute to think. Some laugh loudly at every joke; others smile and say nothing. Forty students can mean forty different personalities. Different people bring different things, and a class needs them all. Take Wang Lei and Xu Mei as an example. ____26____ Wang Lei can start a game with a new person in thirty seconds. Xu Mei notices the classmate sitting alone at lunch and remembers what he likes. When a new student came from another city last month, Wang Lei had him laughing on the first afternoon, and Xu Mei found that he could draw well and took him to the art club. “I felt at home in a week,” the new boy said. ____27____ A careful student may find a mistake in the plan before anyone starts, while a quick-thinking student may think of an idea before anyone else. ____28____ A group with both kinds of people usually works better than any one member alone. The best thing about a difference is not to fight it, but to learn from it. You do not have to become someone else. But you can learn small habits from people who are different from you. A shy student can practise saying one thing in group work. A student who talks a lot can practise listening to the end before answering. ____29____ Differences may bring trouble. They take time, and sometimes they make people unhappy. ____30____ So we should value these differences. A. The same thing happens in group work. B. They do almost everything in different ways. C. Each of them needs the other to finish the job. D. But what we get is far more than what we think. E. A careful student is always better than a fast one. F. These small habits slowly change how a class works. 第Ⅱ卷（满分50分） Ⅵ．短文填空（本题10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Last Saturday morning, Grandma opened the room for old things.

Her family never goes far. For three years, they have spent every holiday in their own city. Wang Yue calls it “near holiday”. She says these are the best days of her year. They have three habits for the holiday. Their first habit began with a map. Her father bought an old city map in a small shop. “Let’s walk the streets we have never walked,” he said. They walked in the old part of the city. People dry fish in the sun there. An old man makes old clocks work again, too. Wang Yue walked along that street many times before, but she never walked into it. Their second habit is to go out early. Museums, markets and parks are quiet and beautiful at eight in the morning. At the fish market, Wang Yue learned a lot about the river in one hour. At the city museum, an old man showed her an old picture and told her its story. She could not find the story in any book. The third habit costs nothing. You just need to ask questions. “Why is this street so quiet in the morning?” “Who built this old house?” Most people are glad to answer, and every answer opens another door. Wang Yue is not saying long trips are bad. She is saying something easier: a good holiday does not have to be far away. It is not about how far you go. It is about how much you notice. “You do not need to leave the city to see new things,” she says. “You need to keep your eyes open.” 根据短文内容回答问题。 41. Why does Wang Yue call their holiday “near holiday”? _________________________ 42. Which will you choose for your next holiday, a “near holiday” or a “faraway holiday”? Why? _________________________ 43. 根据短文内容填空。（每空不超过三词） Wang Yue enjoys special “near holidays” with her family in their own city ___________ travelling far. They keep three holiday ___________: exploring streets with an old map, ___________ such as museums, markets and parks early in the morning to enjoy quiet beauty, and ___________ to learn more about the city. She doesn’t think long trips are bad. In her opinion, a wonderful holiday comes from watching carefully, not how far you travel.
